HATCH: Now, I just want to tell you that, like I say, I've been here for 29 years and I've been through 10 of these -- I think 10, if I recall correctly. And in all of that time, we've seen some really sterling, brilliant, wonderful people before this committee. But I've never seen anybody who has done a better job of explaining himself than you have.
If people can't vote for you, then I doubt that they can vote for any Republican nominee.
You have made a very, very strong presentation here. And I hope the American people realize that, and I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle realize that.
And I look forward to seeing you as chief justice of the United States Supreme Court. And will do everything in my power to see that you are confirmed.
With that, I have eight and a half minutes left. I reserve the balance of my time.
SPECTER: Thank you very much, Senator Hatch.
